[Bug 595898] Re: screen fails to start

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package screen - 4.0.3-14ubuntu4

---------------
screen (4.0.3-14ubuntu4) maverick; urgency=low

  * Fix typo in upstart job: "filesystem" rather than "filesystems";
    LP: #595898.
  * Remove debian/=screen.debhelper.log.
  * Add "task" to the upstart job as it isn't a service; also use "script"
    rather than "pre-start script" for clarity.
  * Use find -delete rather than find -print0 | xargs rm to avoid starting two
    processes.
  * Rewrite "if test foo || ! test bar" into "if [ foo ] || [ ! bar ]" for
    clarity.

Status in “screen” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
Binary package hint: screen

screen (4.0.3-14ubuntu3) - maverick

This version has re-introduced the issue of:
Cannot make directory '/var/run/screen': Permission denied

Following a:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/screen-cleanup restart

Screen then works as expected.

Interestingly, the following doesn't resolve it.
$ sudo restart screen-cleanup
